Spa at Salthouse Harbour Hotel on Ipswich Waterfront to open

Offering treatments such as massages, facials and body wraps, the Spa at the Salthouse Harbour Hotel will open from Tuesday, May 5 after their multi-million three phase renovation is finalised.

Work has taken place on the new spa at The Salthouse Harbour since the start of the year, when it closed the whole hotel for two months.

The hotel and brassiere reopened in March, but next month will see the opening of the new spa experience at the hotel and a unique floating sauna with a view of the marina.

The new spa at the Salthouse will feature a bespoke ‘wallow’ pool, sauna, aroma essence steam room, ice fountain, cold drench and experience showers, deluxe foot spa and relaxation loungers, spa lounge and fitness suite situation above the restaurant below.

20 jobs will be created as part of the spa, which is part of a wider £2million investment into the hotel.

A soft launch last month was fully booked, which saw guests enjoy a new ground-floor layout and a quintessentially British brasserie and bar, with both spaces open for all-day dining.

The improvements to the ground floor offers a finely crafted bar space that has reshaped entrance of the hotel.

This area promotes a relaxed atmosphere, appealing to both morning coffee guests, those seeking light lunches, and patrons looking for evening drinks or cocktails.

After celebrating its 60th anniversary last year, Salthouse plans to position itself not just as a visitor destination for those staying in the town, but as a serene escape for Ipswich locals.

The Salthouse Harbour Hotel in owned by the same family business that operates The Angel Hotel in Bury St Edmunds.
